BEER BREAD

:

3 cups self-rising flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups beer [equivalent to 1 can of beer]
1 stick of butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour bread pan [9" x 4"
apprx] and set aside. Mix the sugar with the flour with a whisk.
Add the beer and make dough. It's best to buy a large bottle of
beer
because if you don't get the conistency you want you will have to
add
a little beer at a time until you do.

Spread dough in pan until it touches sides and corners and top is
flat. Cover with Saran-Wrap and let sit for about 15 to 20
minutes.
Then uncover and bake in middle of oven for 1 hour. After 30
minutes
take the tip of sitck of butter and run over top of bread until a
film is on it, then continue to bake for the rest of the hour.

Store bread in 'fridge covered because if you don't the bread
dries
out fast.

Always make sure your oven is level. Nothing worse than a lop-
sided
loaf of homemade bread. After you get to baking this bread; be
creative; add chopped onion and shredded cheese to the dough to
make
a Beer-Onion and Cheese Bread.

I reckon this will make an excellent pizza base...
